their families.

Payment for hospice services not provided
in the patient's home

Hospice
is specialized care for the terminally ill. In most cases, hospice services are
covered by Medicare. Niagara Hospice maintains service care contracts with many hospitals,
nursing homes, intermediate care facilities and adult care facilities. While
the services of Niagara Hospice typically involve no expense to the patient,
each contract provider may charge fees associated with room and board and/or
services provided for care of the patient's unrelated terminal diagnosis. Each
contract and setting is unique. Medicare
and Medicaid regulations prevent hospice providers from providing care in
non-contracted facilities.

Patients considering hospice care should ask their respective
insurance carriers about the impact of accessing hospice either through
Medicare and Medicaid, or through private insurance. Each carrier may have
limitations of care and/or out-of-pocket expenses. Niagara Hospice personnel
make every effort to ensure all patients are fully informed about their
options prior to making a decision about hospice care.
